Finish Line

Fading cemetery scenes, as we walk down the road you’ve haunted
in my dreams
A shattered glass that sits alone, silent reminders that this place
is not my home
Terrible visions of the past, how long can we go on before we
come right crashing down and
Tear away this gilded mask, reveal the truth inside that I may be
the one to ask
Take away all of this pain, this empty hunger I thought drowned
in yesterday
Acquiesce your furrowed brow, the scent repugnant as we’re rotting
in this town
We are rife with our mistakes, the fear and loathing we’ve left bundled
in our wake
This foundation we believed, would hold throughout the night but it
has sprung a leak and now it

All comes crashing down, it begins
All comes crashing down, so it ends
All comes crashing down, you and me
All comes crashing down, faithfully

Let this lesson be our last, a peg into the board; a solemn hanger
hanging fast
Hold the weight and never bend, compromise is failure it leads
to the end my friend
The mighty battles we have fought, the wounds which we’ve endured
the apathy we’ve bought
In stark contrast to yesterday, when we had hoped that it would
simply fade away and then it

All comes crashing down, it begins
All comes crashing down, so it ends
All comes crashing down, you and me
All comes crashing down, faithfully

Yet I still cling to yesterday, the day that I stood tall to
proclaim I’d never run away
